Yes,
I used to read hunting magazines, and i shot 0 deer in 5 years hunting with a gun. Then i started bowhunting and reading here (eventually joined in Dec. 06'), and ive killed 4 deer in the last 2 years. Numbers dont lie.

Can't really say I am. I've been hunting for 50 years and bowhunting for 38. I was bowhunting before most people on the board were born.I think before I came here 5 or whatever years ago I've seen it all or heard it all or read it all somewhere. I've hunted from Texas, to New England, to Georgia. If there had been such things as computers and talk forums when I began it could have saved me a lot of time and trials and tribulations.[&:] That said, there's also times where misinformation is being spread as the TRUTH. Usually someone will step up and point it out and it gets resolved, but still, there are times people will go with the misinformation. We'll all end up at the same place in the end, better educated whether it's threw trial and error, talk forums, magazines etcor a combination thereof. Personnally, I can't give you one instance where I've been wrong. LOL[8D][8D][8D][8D]

even though this is my third deer season and i have only seen a couple deer, i think it has because of all the knowledge that is on here, when ever i have a problem i come here and ask, and guess what, i get the answer. so i put yes.

There isn't a person on here that doesn't get something out of this site. If your not, its your own fault. This is not directed at you either David.

WOW.. I'm surprised to see so many NO's. Seems a bit out of place to me.
To say you've not learned anything on this sites forums that would help make you a better hunter is likely the cause of 1 or 2 things...
1.) Arrogance or ignorance... or both.
-or-
2.) Too green to the site. Not enough time spent on board.
And yes.. the technical side of hunting would more than likely help you become a better hunter too.
If you don't think so.. well thats like saying Ted Williams taught me how to hit but didn't teach me how to play beseball.
I'm not trying to call anyone out. But get over yourselves and be human for just.. I don't know.. a few seconds really.
Incidently I voted yes. And the day I stop voting yes is the day I stop learning and questioning and thinking outside the box.
